Do American Cars Burn Engine Oil?

[MakaylaFitz]

American cars are not as focused on fuel efficiency as European cars (after all, they are not short on oil), so they are not overly tuned for extreme performance, but they are relatively more stable in terms of performance. Burning engine oil is relatively rare—of course, small-displacement turbocharged American cars are specifically produced by American automakers for the European and Asian markets, as they don’t sell well domestically. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Avoid prolonged engine idling: When idling, the engine consumes far more fuel than during normal driving. Therefore, if the vehicle is not moving for an extended period, such as when parked waiting for someone, it is best to turn off the engine. During cold starts, warming up the car should not exceed 1 minute; maintaining a few minutes of low-speed driving is sufficient. 2. Maintain good driving habits: Gentle and smooth driving is the most fuel-efficient. During the initial acceleration phase, avoid slamming the accelerator. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a consistent speed once a certain speed is reached. When driving in congested areas, also pay attention to the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking.
